Fall Home Decor

Last year at season's end, I purchased these beautiful autumn garlands and wreath on 75% clearance at GrandinRoad.com. It was hard to get them in the mail then put them away for almost a year, but exciting to get them out last week for fall decorating. I know it is technically still summer, and the weather surely doesn't feel like fall, but come September 1, I can't hold out any longer! I just can't help myself. I actually get giddy breaking out the fall sterilite tubs. Am I crazy? So, here's what my fall mantle and sideboard look like. I am such a home girl. Many of my closest friends and relatives would rather do anything than stay at home and cook or decorate, but not me. I enjoy it so much I look forward to it! I see all kinds of other fall decor on blogs I follow.....what about you guys? Any of you in my circle use decorating as a creative outlet?

Why Do I Blog?

I use this blog as my online memory bank. If my words seem self serving, they are. I already find myself looking back on older posts and thinking...oh yea, I forgot that happened. It is also useful for our family members who live abroad to keep up with the kids growing. And, it comes in handy for organizing our favorite recipes. I like the idea that these recipes will all be compiled in one place for ease of access, and for my kids in the future. This blog has become my virtual recipe book.

About Me

I am married to the love of my life, George. I was so fortunate to meet him at a young age. He and our children Steven and Amanda Lily are my heart. We are blessed with a thriving business, and wonderful patrons who visit often. We have a wonderful family on both sides. There is the loving, loud, and fun Greek side. Then there is my side, the loving, not so loud, Southern family.
I take pride in being very involved in my children's school and education.
I also enjoy singing in the ensemble at church, shopping with friends, crafting with my Mom, and date night with my husband.I am a domestic girl. I LOVE cooking and decorating my home. Also, parties and entertaining. I live a charmed life, and thank God daily for the many blessings he has given my family.
